Brunello di Montalcino DOCG1998 0,75lt

*Packaged in wooden case.

Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Vintage: 1998
Production area: Montalcino (Siena)
Average altitude 300 m above sea level
Grape varieties: Sangiovese, special clones selected by Col d’Orcia. 
Climatic trend: a very nice late spring favored flowering and fruit set, presenting abundant production. A dry summer with decidedly above-average temperatures drastically reduced bunch weight. Very severe careful thinning allowed the grapes to be brought to perfect ripeness.
Vinification: fermentation on the skins lasting 18-20 days, at a controlled temperature below 30° C, in low and wide 150 hl steel tanks, specially made to effectively but gently extract tannins and color.
Aging: 4 years, 3 of which in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of 25-50 and 75 hl capacity, followed by bottle aging for at least 12 months in temperature-controlled rooms.
Serving Temperature: 18°
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: Deep ruby red
Bouquet: complex, fresh, broad and deep. Oak spices are harmoniously integrated into the inviting fruit
Palate: impressive impact: the impressive tannic structure is wrapped in a generous, almost creamy body, releasing multidimensional taste sensations. Primary fruit and positive evolution of the long oak aging are in perfect balance, leading to a noble and elegant aftertaste.
